Dixie Mae is 2 months old today! We had her check up and her first shots today. She handled it like a champ, screaming for only 2 minutes then she settled right down... until a few hours later when she was screaming for at least an hour straight. A little bit of childrens tylenol did the trick though and she slept the next couple of hours like a baby.
Here are her stats:
11 lbs 7 ounces (69th percentile)
22 inches long (35th percentile)
Head is 15.5 inches around
as you can see i have a nice short chubby baby!
Shes super alert right now.. moving her head left to right to left to right all the live long day sucking in her surroundings. She gets really bored and angitated in the apartment all day and loves to take walks outside for a change of scenery (much like her mother). She eats constantly and will take it in whatever form is around, bottle or breast, she makes no distinction, as long as there is warm milk at the end of the tunnel! Her eyes are still blue, and we're crossing our fingers they will stay blue. We're not quite sure on her haircolor yet... sometimes it looks brown, othertimes it looks dark blonde, and in the sun it has definatly got some red in it as well.. so the verdict is still out. Her skin is extremly fair... so fair that if i hold her in one position for too long she gets red spots where my pressure points were, so I've got to be careful.
LIttle Dixie just LOVES to take baths with her mama. I try to read her books, but so far there is no interest. IN fact, she usually gets aggitaed when i do because im blocking her view to the surroundings. She loves the swing and the vibrating papasan chair... lifesavers when i need to get something done. We're just starting the whole sleeping routine thing, so I'll let you know how it goes. So far so good though. Oh, and for a 2 month old the doctor said her head control is really advanced. She basically has full neck control except when shes tired, then it flops around.... the jogging stoller is in sight!!
We Love Our little Dixie Mae! Happy 2 month birthday baby girl!

She's looking chubby and cute these days. We need weekly visits to keep with this little one. Hope the blessing trip went well.
